Polymer Membrane Promises Better Gas Separation

Caption

Laura Murdock, a PhD candidate at the University of South Carolina, shows a polymer film she made according to a chemical design prescribed by machine learning. The film outperformed all known membranes used for separating carbon dioxide and methane, demonstrating that machine learning can help chemists more quickly develop new materials.
